Marrakech, the red city

Marrakech is called the red city however for me it is the pink city– this is how I call it. Most of the buildings are coloured salmon pink – that is what people call red here. 

During sunset the colour warms and deepens, too. I also find the sunrise magnificent in the city and tried not to miss any of them from the top of our hotel. 

Before the very moment of the rising of the sun the birds are singing so loud then it all stops as the sun comes up. Then after a minute of silence the city becomes chaotic, noisy, warm and dusty.
